  2. For everyone's full disclosure, Opera is owned by a Chinese corporation, and Chinese tech companies such as Lenovo are known for putting internal spyware in their software, collecting user data. Not to mention, Opera GX uses Chromium, which means it also feeds everything straight to google. If you're concerned with privacy in your browser at all, but still want modern features, I recommend either Brave or Chrome. No shade on kacey for the sponse, just wanted to share my personal knowledge with people.

  3. 07 was the best nascar game for sure. Meets right in the middle of everything prior and future. The PSP version which is just called NASCAR drops the team control for rewind, so you have a couple options of the same game.

  4. Great video.
    704 is no longer the developer. They were bought out by Motorsport games who is building a new game franchise from the ground up. I don't know how it will turn out, but they are definitely putting more money into the project.
    They aren't going to get another 5 years of support from the fanbase if they don't show a much better product with the first game.

  5. Thank you for covering the franchise in this video!
    I feel like there's so much potential not being used, especially with the most recent games. However I'm very hopeful for the future ever since it's small but sure resurgence

  6. my favorite is a kid was NASCAR 2000 which I got in a combo pack with Superbike 2001, NFS Porsche Unleashed and NFS III Hot Pursuit. I played it so much the disc stopped reading. only a while back did I get a new copy and get to enjoy those memories again

  7. I liked the Nascar bit in Gran Turismo 6. I would like a good Nascar game in my collection but on the other hand I don't expect to play it incredibly often. I don't expect to be willing to pay full price for it now so maybe when it's on sale. Who knows, if it's really enjoyable I would spend full price on the next game.
